FASHIONS FoR WINTER.

Many of them have the stripes be-
tween the fingers of white. This shade
of red goes rs well with most colors aso
does tan.
Among the new stones to be worn
this winter are sapphirines. which are
lovely shade of translucent BLUSH
green. They are not costly. and are
set for bracelets in very light rings OF
gold. They, with the Mexican moon
stones. are being made up into all the
newest ornaments.
a pretty idea for bracelets comes
from Paris. Six narrow silver bangles
are worn together on the arm. every
alternate bangle being closely set with
small pearls, those between being set
with tiny turquoises. The effect is ex-
tremely pretty.
Among the imported dresses which
may be effectively copied more cheaply
is dinner gown of which the skirt is
of Charles X. pink surah. draped COM
pletely with pale dull-blue Russian net
edged with ribbon of the same shade.
The pink tulle-draped waist is laced in
the back, has half-long sleeves and is
edged with ribbon tied in long loop

the front, and jacket fronts of a plaid
velvet, in which the predominating
tint is blue, fastened at the throat and
haring outward over the hips. The
high collar and deep cuffs are of the
velvet.
Spider-web designs are seen on the
new winter cloths for cloaks, also rough
Astrakhan stripes. sunken oval and
snail-shaped figures and odd hero
glyphics in lighter shades than that of
the surface of the cloth. The loug
cloaks are made as raglans, that is,
with tight-htting back, loose fronts
and square sleeves. or else like the
Irish peasant cloaks, gathered to n col
lar or yoke and falling straight to tlle
ground, without sleeves.

than seal. The red plush wraps will be
darker than those worn last year and
will be rivalled by wraps of emerald
green, heavily trimmed with lace and
passementeries. All the plush wraps
are small.
The new colored silks are imported
in curious old Vatican patterns. One
of dull gray has figures of gray and
pink peonies without stems or foliage
and disposed in regular lines down the
breadth, connected with each other by
a narrow pink wavy line Many of
these combinations are charming,
showing olive with bronze and Charles
pink, blue with dull green and red,
heliotrope with bronze and gold.
Young ladies will wear white flannel
all through the win ter for house dresses
in plated skirts and jackets with silk
feather stitching ornamenting the
cuffs, collars, revers and hems and
with many loops and cascades of mar

gowns and should he done entirely by

velvet facing about fifteen inches wide
at the front of the skirt; the drapery iss
plain and the basque has jacket fronts
collar and sleeves of the velvet. A
charming gown is of Gobelin blue faille
Franchise with velvet trimmings of a
deeper tint. One in serpent green has
a p9lonaise of velvet whose skirts form
long, smooth panels. Some black Ben
galines are trimmed with broad diago-
nal strips of black velvet ribbon APP

Wrappers are made with shirred Wat

The loose fronts have square or pointed
yokes trimmed with rows of feather
